Career fair can give business students head start
By Katie Eagan Special to the Kansan
Because seniors will be making their way into the real world of employment within the next year, the School of Business' Career Services Center is doing its part to lend a helping hand.
Students can get information about more than 100 businesses at the Business Career Fair Wednesday from 1 to 6 p.m. Students also can submit their resumes. The fair is targeted toward business students, but anyone can attend.
Representatives will be available to pass out brochures and answer questions at the Kansas
Union Ballroom. Big 12 room and Jayhawk room on the fifth floor of the Union. A handout listing each business and its location in the Union can be picked up near the fair's entrance. Businesses sending representatives include Hallmark, Sprint, Andersen Consulting, IBM and Southwestern Bell.
"Since the business world is very competitive, the career fair gives students a cutting edge because they can meet with representatives one on one," said Trudy Lutz, office manager of the center.
Not only will students learn about potential jobs, they will
be able to see where graduates from the University of Kansas are employed. Representatives wearing a special ribbon are, in fact, KU alumni and can be spotted easily at the fair.
"Alumni who bleed crimson and blue can best represent their company to KU students," said Lisa Leroux-Smith, director of the Business and Engineering Career Services Center. "There is no one better to get students excited about a company than a KU alum who works for that company."
One such KU alumnus, who will be representing the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway company, is management trainee and internal auditor Ryan Dreier. As a volunteer for the School of Business' Career Services Center, Dreier

helped organize the career fair last year when he attended the University.
"The Business Career Fair is a great networking opportunity to compare and evaluate companies," Deleier said.
To help students decide what area of business is right for them, there will be panels of representatives on accounting and information systems throughout the afternoon answering questions.
"Businesses are very familiar with the strength of KU's School of Business and know the quality of students that graduate from this school," Dreier said.
Even with the school's reputation preceding them, Dreier still recommends that students remember to do three things before coming to the career fair.
"Students should dress professionally, have a plan of businesses they want to talk to and also have questions prepared to ask recruiters," Dreier said.
Today, the center is helping students perfect their resumes. Students will be able to give their resumes to businesses on Wednesday to begin the job search process.
Questions about the Business Career Fair should be directed to the center at 864-5591.
